Ann says
I’m impressed that you manage to keep up with all the releases. There just isn’t enough time to read all those lovely books – maybe I should start looking into audio books!
I hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful.

Ann, sometimes all of the pseudonyms that authors are now using makes it a little tricky. Luckily this time Readingprincess was able to help me out by telling me that Wendy Lyn Watson is now writing as Annie Knox. (I won’t get started again on pseudonyms!)
Susan says
Tracy Weber’s Murder Strikes a Pose comes out in January, too!
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Thanks, Susan, for telling us about Tracy Weber’s Murder Strikes a Pose.
Patti S. says
Another good month of new books. My TBR list is getting longer! Thanks, Danna!
Danna - cozy mystery list says
You’re welcome, Patti S. Mine is, too!
Sheila says
What a way to start 2014. There are a few books to add to my reading list. Thanks for all you hard work with this web site.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Thank you, Sheila, for the kind words.
Tomi says
Thank you so much for maintaining your website. I’m almost ashamed to admit how much I look forward to the release of this list each month. Don’t know how I missed the new Flavia de Luce. I can depend on you to keep me up-to-date!
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Tomi, I’m glad you enjoy the monthly Mystery Book New Releases. I always love it when one of my favorite authors puts out a new mystery.
Readingprincess says
Jan. 6 marks the debut of Annie Knox’s new pet boutique mystery series with Paws for Murder. Annie Knox, aka Wendy Lyn Watson, wrote the mystery a la mode series.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Thanks for the information, Readingprincess. I just added Wendy Lyn Watson’s alias (Annie Knox) to the site. I always appreciate a heads up.
Jerry says
Happy December
Just finished James patterson’s newest Cross MY Heart. Just as good as all his others. I currently have three spots on my library list . Thank you for the great January releases.

Barbara says
Thanks from me, too for keeping up with this and with the aliases. It makes it much easier to find favorite authors. Altho now I’m reading Agatha Christie so my time will be taken up for the next few months….BK
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Barbara, I started listening to my Agatha Christie’s a little while ago, but stopped for a short while. I am trying to make my way through them again. She really was a terrific story-teller!
Mimi78660 says
Love your website. It’s my go to when I need new cozys. Have you ever read any Leighanne Dobbs books? She writes the Lexy Baker Bakery mysteries.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Mimi, I haven’t read any Leighanne Dobbs books. Thanks for telling us about them.
Ellery Adams says
Danna –
Thanks for including me! I just wanted to say that Pecan Pies and Homicides is not a Christmas-theme book. It actually starts off in January, so it’s a winter themed book, but not Christmas. Just didn’t want to mislead any readers! Cheers!
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Thank you for the heads up, Ellery!
Ellery Adams says
Just wanted to add my thanks for your hard work and devotion. This is my go to site for all things cozy mystery! Very grateful to you for creating and updating this amazing site. Happy Holidays and a very Cozy 2014 to you!
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Ellery, thank you for the kind words about the site, and for your holiday greetings.
Shannon N says
I created a spread sheet to keep up with the books coming out, and books I read. Now, I don’t have to do that
I love this site….thank you Danna and everyone for the updates and recommendations. Still plugging away on the Scumble River mysteries by Denise Swenson, but do have many books yet to catch up on. Like going to this site to find new reads/authors, etc.
A previous post mentioned Audio books. I love Sue Grafton’s audio books, as well as Janet Evanovich. The story teller for both books is great. And, if you don’t want to keep them, they can be donated to a library or women’s shelter.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Shannon N, I’m so glad you are enjoying the site.
FYI: Cracker Barrel restaurants carry books on tape that can be checked out.

I can’t believe that I have never read Cleo Coyle. Just read Espresso Shot. Great cozy. Also just fiinished The Single Girl’s Guide To Murder. An older cozy by Joanne Meyer. Highly recommend. Also read Catherine Coulter’s new one The Final Cut. Big book but could not put it down.
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to one and all. Here is to great cozys in 2014

Danna - cozy mystery list says
Jerry, as a Cozy Mystery reader, I can’t believe you are just not discovering Cleo Coyle‘s Coffee House Mystery Series! Also, I can’t believe you started with Espresso Shot (book #7). The good news is that you can now go back and read books # 1-6, and follow them with books # 8 – 13! Lots of Cozy reading in store for you.
LM says
Hi I live in Alaska and “discovered” the great series written by Dana Stabenow and her Kate Shugak character. I’m looking for the books she’s written in this series within the past several years. i’m having a difficult time finding her books here in Fairbanks even at our local Barnes and Noble store. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, LM Braman
Danna - cozy mystery list says
LM, have you tried finding Dana Stabenow‘s Kate Shugak mysteries on Amazon or Ebay? I would suggest trying both of those places.
